Hello guys,
I've a question regarding data protection with Azure Backup, because if I need to backup and protect data in a Cloud native tenant (Storage, SQL PaaS, etc..) from cyber attack (not just ransomware), for example someone who may gain high privilage access to the tenant, how can I protect my data ?
I know that azure data box for Backup Offline is available for on-prem, but I don't know if there is a similar tool also for Cloud services so I can put offline my backup.
thanks
Hi,
Azure Backup provides security to your backup environment - both when your data is in transit and at rest.

Hope this helps.

ok so If some attackers should be able to delete tenant or subscriptions, I can recover backup from enhanced soft delete or enabling immutability.
I hope these protections will be enough to protect both ransomwere and attackers/hackers.
Concerns about security issues, like malware, ransomware, and intrusion, are increasing. These security issues can be costly, in terms of both money and data. To guard against such attacks, Azure Backup now provides security features to help protect backup data even after deletion.
One such feature is soft delete. With soft delete, even if a malicious actor deletes a backup (or backup data is accidentally deleted), the backup data is retained for 14 additional days, allowing the recovery of that backup item with no data loss. The additional 14 days of retention for backup data in the "soft delete" state don't incur any cost to you.
